About Music for Gaza

I do not know.
I always get a strange feeling being at a fundraising party.
I think Merlijn is a hero, and Paradiso is great,
this project is fantastic
and the war is awful
and yes I am angry too.

But everyone in the building with the same opinion is to much for me.
I miss the other
the other opinion, the other side, the beloved enemy
my best opponent...
Hamas is using human shields: now that is a crime against humanity as well.

I only had Mint tea
but soon the strangest thoughts came in my mind:
Israel-Palestin is basicly a Catholic problem,
in terms of the guilt syndrome Europe has.
And we should have made Israel in Germany
as a punishment.Half of Germany should have become Israel...
that would have been better
and what happened actually with the promised lands,
the birthright of the Native Americans
and the Aboriginals?
And isn;t this a competition in attitudes about life and death?
who wins, the ones who protect life with all means possible
or the ones who challenge death with all means possible?

When I am surfing Gaza on the Internet
I think:

Enough with the world attention for Gaza
lets focus on other things
they are hijacking the worlds attention for so long
victims for so long
both parties
We just have to move on....
get a life.

I know
they want a life as well
and it is not possible
jobs instead of guns.
and ambitions for life
instead of rituals for deaths.

may peace be upon you.
what can you do?
well CD's for Gaza is something
at least.
But what can we send their enemy
what can we send the young people in Israel?
